Top of the mornin’ to ye from Pots of Luck casino! A Nektan casino at-heart, this is a site where you can find all of the newest and most popular mobile slots, and can come across the undying classic games too. It is the best of both worlds, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it’s all Irish, all the time. While the main theme of this casino is the famed luck of the Irish, there are all sorts of mobile slots, plenty of varied promotions, and even a welcome bonus to sweeten the deal. Read all about it in our Pots of Luck casino review.

Games

This isn’t just any old casino that launches with a dozen mobile slots; there are 126 games that we could currently locate in the lobby of Pots of Luck casino, ranging from the newest NetEnt titles like Drive: Multiplier Mayhem and Aloha Cluster Pays, to the time-tested classics like Foxin Wins and Pyramid: Quest For Immortality.

When it comes to playing at Pots of Luck on your mobile device, we’ve got great news too. It’s not like other casinos that shrink their number count massively – 110 games are available to be played on your phone or tablet, which is bound to include something for everyone.

And don’t forget the whole bunch of casino table games, which are also available for those days when another spin on a mobile slot would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. There’s multiple variants of Blackjack and Roulette in the games portfolio over at Pots of Luck.

Bonuses

There isn’t a dedicated page for bonuses and promotions on Pots of Luck casino, which is a shame really. However, we can write about the ones that we found featured in the main lobby.

Namely, when you join Pots of Luck, you’ll be awarded a deposit match worth of 100%, so if you are new to the casino and make your first deposit ever, you’ll get up to £100 in bonus cash. This means that if you deposit £100, you’ll get double to play with. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also get a massive 100 bonus spins to spend on Starburst — magnificent! Keep in mind that there are wagering requirements attached to this offer, albeit moderately sized at 30x.

£10 deposit bonus – deposit between 5-8PM Monday to Friday and you’ll get an extra 10% to play with

15% win boost – a bonus to top up your winnings balance every Wednesday

Deposits & Withdrawal

Deposits

You can make deposits at Pots of Luck using a wide variety of your standard banking cards, such as VISA, MasterCard, Maestro and Solo. And if you’re not one for plastic, the great news is that both major e-wallets Neteller and Skrill can also facilitate deposits. All deposits are free and instant, with a minimum amount of £10 and no maximum is specified on site.

Withdrawals

Meanwhile, withdrawals are slightly more complex. You can use all bank cards and e-wallets to withdraw a minimum amount of £20. A maximum amount of £2,000 a day and a monthly limit of £5,000 are pre-set, but you can alter those by getting in touch with customer services. One withdrawal is allowed in any given 24 hour period and there are no withdrawal fees to speak of at Pots of Luck and it will take approximately three days to get the money into your account.

Our Verdict

All in all, Pots of Luck mobile casino is branded as an exclusive site that allows players to test if they’ve got the luck of the Irish on their side. Just launched, it looks modern and fresh, features a healthy welcome bonus package of a deposit match and 100 bonus spins, and over 120 mobile slots to check out.

What’s bothering us slightly is the fact that there is conflicting information in terms of the banking at various places on the site. Plus, there is no dedicated overview page for bonuses and promotions. If they sort out these tiny little points that damage the user experience quite significantly, we think that Pots of Luck will be on their way to becoming a solid Nektan site.

The marvellous Andre The Giant slot machine to play online has 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 adjustable pay lines. Win your prizes on the wrestling ring with the great wrestler Andre playing this online casino slot by NextGen Gaming!

Andre has many sleights to entertain you and bring you handsomely wins. Three or more scattered Andre logo symbols launch Battle Bout Bonus. Collect special attack moves during ten free games to enter the ring when the free spins are over. Choose a rival for a fight then select special attacks one after another to defeat him.

After three successful attacks appear Andre the Giant Signature Finishing moves. Choose one to finish the fight and to get the additional prize. Andre is the Wild symbol in this slot game. It can act as any symbol, but Andre Logo. The Wild symbol appears on second and fourth reels only. And if the Wild symbol’s appearance may result in winnings, it expands to cover the whole reel.

For those who like to risk and want to increase the won credits, the developers added Gamble feature to the game. You can gamble on the card colour to double your wins or the card suit. Successful guess increases your prize; the wrong one will take the credits for the last spin round from you.

Taking its inspiration from the gem bursting games now so popular on mobile and social apps, Starburst is a mobile slot any gamer will quickly recognise.

Whilst disappointing some critics when this game first came out online, this Starburst slot never disappointed us and has now becomes a highly acclaimed slot game. The theme is brilliant, and by that we mean it in the literal sense, as it’s a simply “very bright and radiant” game. The colours jump out of your screen and jingle and disappear in a haze of sound.

See? It’s even made us slightly poetic.

But true to it’s origin, Starburst online slot seems fit for mobile. Whilst it was a decent play online, it’s only since it’s made it’s jump to the mobile screen that it has become one of our firm favourites. Not only does it provide you with fantastic graphics and sounds, but as with all NetEnt Touch games, the controls make it incredibly easy to play.

At first glance, people might get disappointed at the fact that this mobile slot game has only one bonus feature, but the original gem bursting games are popular because of their simplicity – and in this case, less is definitely more. Obviously this Starburst slot review is based on our personal taste, so if you prefer something with constant surprises, you might want to look elsewhere such as the bonus feature heavy South Park slot by the same provider.

However bear in mind that Starburst is a two-way-win mobile slot, meaning it awards a decent number of prizes and as a mid variance slot, not only does it pay out often enough, but the wins can be very impressive. These are 10 paylines that will leave your wallet cosmically happy.

In-game bonus features

Starburst Wild: A wild Starburst symbol appearing on reel 2, 3 or 4 will substitute all the icons on that reel and trigger a re-spin. The maximum amount of re-spins you can get from this is 3.

A simple title it might have, but this is no simple slot machine. Except it is… Only it isn’t… It’s a strange Wild West mobile slot world.

We’ll admit that when we first started playing this Wild West slot from NextGen Gaming, we couldn’t figure out if we liked it or not. Clearly by the four star rating we went one way rather than the other, but we suspect this machine might divide players none-the-less.

And it’s not for lack of a nice theme. No generic aces and high cards here, which they would have been well within their right to add, as technically the theme, as far as we can tell, is “playing high stakes poker in a saloon with a bottle of hooch, a snarky dame, a horse high on something, and a one-heart-attack short of the great chip stack in the sky cowboy”.

It’s specific we’ll give you that. But at least the Wild West video slot is not boring, with free spins that trigger in a most original way and come often.

The NextGen Superbet with a twist

The superbet has become a well loved feature in NextGen slots. The brilliant Foxin Wins gives you extra wilds and the dangerous Merlin’s Magic Respin gave you stacked wild re-spins.

We write more about it in the bonus feature section below, but basically, in the Wild West slot game you can choose to pay more to give the wild symbol a multiplier or x2 or x5.

The relevance of this will soon become clear, but the twist in this tale is that the Wild West Superbet is remarkably affordable. Even if you choose the top superbet of x5 (which you should), you can play for as little as 0.50 a spin, which may sound high for a 5 reel, 10 payline slot machine, but trust us when we say that you need it to get anything on this game.

Wild West Bonus games triggered by the Wild symbols

You’re not gonna win anything of any significance in the base game. Sorry cowboy, but you might as well know that these cards are rigged against you. Short of a five symbol win, with the added superbet cost, anything less barely covers the cost of a spin.

That’s not to say you can’t win big. The superbet adds a multiplier on the wilds. Anytime you get a win with a wild symbol, you get 5 free spins. These free spins come with stacked scatter symbols which pay out as much as your triggering wild win.

That’s significant for your bank account in three ways:

These bonus games show up often. Almost as often as in the five star Potion Commotion slot.

This is the one slot in history where you don’t care about paylines

One good bonus round can bring you back from the brink of quitting

Simple and entertaining

Once you get your head around the fact that your big wins comes from the stacked scatters in the free spin round, you can settle more easily into the easy rhythm of this game.

If you play with the 2x multiplier, we would probably remove a star, and make this a 3 star slot. Still very playable, but the chances of getting a big enough win to get you to that 25% up on your budget mark decreases dramatically. So choose x5 if you can.

At the end of the day, remember that the Wild West mobile phone slot has a top, top jackpot win of around 750x your bet. So a good free spin round will only get you about 50x to 70x your bet generally and that’s with that 5x multiplier. Even then it can be much less at times.

But the possibility is there. And when you get a free spins round where every stacked chip is worth 20x your bet alone… and they line up to cover the screen, reel to reel… that’s when you’ll shout yeehaw! and shoot imaginary guns into the air, Looney Tunes style.

A mixture between trolls and neon fruits, the theme is as unusual as the gameplay, but Electric Sam mobile slot buzzed our buttons.

Yes we rated this game highly, and lovers of 243 ways to win might salivate at getting something higher in variance a la Game of Thrones slots.

But Electric Sam video slot is not that. It is 243 ways to wins, but that’s about the only things that these games have in common.

This Elk Studios slot machine is high octane, free spin filled, electrical, low variance, fun. With betting strategies in-built to add a certain spice, beginners to slots and lovers of easy to play mobile casino games will enjoy a light, but highly amusing time.

An odd theme, but a strangely fitting one

It’s like they wanted a to make a fruit machine, and starting putting in your traditional bells and sevens and cherries… but then they got bored.

They started turning the symbols neon, because why not! Look how bright and marvellous they look!

But now they need a reason for all the neon. So they come up with an electric King troll… because… who care! It’s fun! And lets add some pretty troll girls, all equally obsessed with the power of electricity.

And why not hey?

Electric Sam slot game is full of free spins

Which easily trigger, and when you are within the game, easily re-trigger. So you may start with 5, 10 or 15 free spins, but you’ll probably end up with 10, 15 or 20 of them in the end.

That said, winning 50x your bet is at the top end of the scale, though you can potentially get as much as 2,000x your bet in this slot. Which is unusual for a machine that’s more about entertainment than the big jackpot wins.

And the Electric Sam slot is all about keeping you hooked to your screen. It’s about getting sticky wilds electrifying the screens, or multipliers from the cocktail sipping troll, or even watching the symbols explode in a buzz of neon flash by the cascading troll. Visually stunning, and pure value for money.

You’ll stay stuck to your Android or iOS screen, as you figure which of the three betting strategies is the best to use (we answer that in the bonus features below by the way.)

This NetEnt game brings you face to face with a crazy looking wrecking crew, as you hope this Demolition Squad slot can bring you some big wins.

With a manga cartoon style slot theme, this five reel slot machine brings you come face to face with dozers, scaffolding and all things that remind you of a construction site.

The slot symbols themselves consist of the lower paying A – 10, all made to blend in with the theme of concrete and metal. Then you’ve got higher paying symbols as the faces of a Demolition Squad themselves.

You’ve got dozer driver, jack hammer operator, sledge hammer wielder, and a blow torch waving, and axe crazed mohawk, crew members. Along with a red eyed robot for some reason, because crazy shit happen in Japanese demolition, we guess?

The overall theme, sounds, graphics, and animations will keep you well entertained as you spin in the hope of hitting this Demolition Squad slot game’s main bonus feature, the free spins.

Demolition Wilds for bigger wins

The regular wilds substitute for all symbols, except the yellow triangle scatter symbol, and they only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.

Much like the regular wild, but with more power, you’ll also find the red, yellow and black Demolition Wild symbols. When two of these appear, any the symbols between them will also turn into a Demolition Wild.

You’ll then get an explosion on screen, and hopefully you’ll get a big win, or at least a win of some kind, to help top up your casino balance.

But this isn’t where the big wins of the game will come, these will be in the free spins which combine the demolition wilds with a 3x multiplier.

Demolition Squad free spins with 3x multipliers

The main bonus game in this Demolition Squad slot game is that of the free spins. These are not easy to find mind you; we’ve had to spin over a good 150 – 200 spins to find them, and when you do they aren’t always lucrative.

You trigger them by finding 3 or more of the yellow triangle scatter symbols, 3 reward you 10 free spins, 4 gives you 20, and find 5 scatters to give you the ultimate 50 free spins.

Mostly you’ll be lucky to find three scatters and enjoy 10 free spins.

All the free spins wins come with 3x multipliers and the Demolition Wilds can come into great effect here. We’ve had wins of 8x ranging up to and over 100x our total bet.

They aren’t a thrill a minute, but when you see the whole squad show up with the Big Win, you’re eyes will light up and your heart will belong to the god of destruction.

The 5 Reel Drive slot was one of the first 5 reel video slots by Microgaming. We were expecting boredom, but surprisingly had some great spins on our mobile.

This 5 Reel Drive slot is a ‘classic’ in the same way that bread and butter pudding is a ‘classic dessert’. Chances are you’ll have found memories of it but rarely have the occasion to eat or seek it out. Every once in a while however, you’ll see it on a menu somewhere and you’ll be tempted to try out a treat that’s not particularly good for you.

This is how we felt about 5 Reel Drive mobile slot when we first came to try it out. Cautiously curious, thinking we would soon be too sick to take another bite of a very simple 5 reel slot that only has Wilds and Scatters to entertain. So imagine our surprise when we spent far longer than we expected on it, spinning away on our Android phone.

This is down to two factors. First the simple theme works well on small smartphone screens. Giving you a ‘road trip’ Americana feel, what looks simple and dated online, works well on small screen where simplicity often means faster, smoother game-play. We like the Cadillacs, the cheeseburger and fries and blueberry pies on display.

Secondly, the features might be simple, with only wilds and scatters, but the payouts, when they come are very decent, with the percentage of your wins, comparatively to how much you are betting, decent enough to keep you fixed on the game.

It’s not action filled, but for those who like their mobile slots uncluttered or have become disillusioned by the million bonus rounds where you lose slowly rather than make any significant wins, then this is an excellent choice. You might find that you’ll head back to find your other favourite desserts before too long, but at least you had a fun nostalgic taste of one of the original online video slots.

In-game bonus features

Wilds: The ‘Bend in the Road’ road sign is the Wild symbol substituting for every other symbol except scatters.

Scatter: The Police car is the scatter symbol, paying any way and with wins multiplied by total number of credits staked.

Arguably the most popular slotsgames ever to hit the UK, created back in 2006 by Barcrest, it centres around a Leprechauns quest to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

The original game was available in arcades, bingo halls and bookmaker shops across the UK featuring a £500 jackpot with a £1 stake. Various changes in the UK Gambling laws by the UK Gambling Commission and the popularity of the game has seen the stakes reduces and now you can play for as low as £0.20.

You have the classic video slots game play along with 3 great bonus rounds to keep you entertained and hopefully collecting one or two pots of gold from the end of the Rainbow too.

In-game bonus features

Wild Symbol: Replacing all symbols except the bonus feature symbols, this is also the jackpot symbols, giving you 500x your win if you line up five of these golden coins in a row.

Stacked Symbol: The Rainbow Riches logo is the second highest paying symbol on the 5 reels and comes stacked. It is also the only symbol except the wild symbol to pay on two symbols, which comes in handy as it’s in combination with the wild that you’ll get most of the wins with these stacks.

Road to Riches Bonus: Get three, four or five leprechaun bonus symbols anywhere on the reels to get the Road to Riches bonus round. Here you’ll see the 200x your bet pot of gold at the end of the yellow brick road, with stepping stones full of multipliers. Spin the wheel of fortune and move along the multiplier until the wheel stops on collect or you hit that big pot of gold.

Wishing Well Bonus: A simple click me feature, unless you get at least four, this is more of a token gesture than a chance at a real win. If you get three or more in view, you’ll get to click one with a multiplier on your total bet. Expect as little as x2 to as high as x10 if you only hit three symbols – which is the usual.

Pots of Gold Bonus: 3 pots of gold anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 will take you to this special feature. As elusive as the aforementioned pots of gold, this little beauty comes rarely, but when it does, tends to be profitable. Here you’ll spin a wheel that will land on either a bronze, silver or gold pot, with a tasty multiplier hiding in each. This is the bonus feature that will have you tense with thrills at potentially getting an amazing 500x your bet.

All in all a classic that (so far at least) is standing the test of time and has an army of slots fans to testify!

This Winterberries mobile slot game is incredibly simple, with sticky wins, not all the winter berries on these reels will leave you fulfilled. Yet some are just plain delicious, leaving you wanting more.

The second of the Yggdrasil slot games ever released, we have to admit that it’s a little better than the Jokerizer, and we rated that game quite nicely as a first attempt – certainly better than some of the others on the market. It’s also a great Android tablet slot or iPad slot – that big screen just loves the detail in the design.

Yet, much like it’s predecessor, this is a one trick pony, so you’ll have to be after beautiful yet simple slots to enjoy this one. However, fear not, there is an upside.

The Winterberry slot theme

And it’s not the theme. Look, it’s very pretty and all, with the northern lights cascading in the background and bright, vibrant berries all over the reels. When the symbols freeze, it does so beautifully glazing the fruits into convincing ice cubes. So the graphics are pretty.

It’s just a shame that it didn’t transport us anywhere. For that matter the annoying theme tune was reminiscent of a dark Caribbean jam that a pirate band put together. It didn’t quite fit or spark the imagination. But it’s certainly pretty.

The big in-game prize

This slot won’t be for everyone, but what it does hides is a x1250 your bet win. How are those numbers for you? Unlikely? Sure of course, what in game jackpot wouldn’t be. But the point is that Winterberries mobile slot is no lightweight.

This is where the sticky wins (much along the lines of Jack Hammer & Jack Hammer 2) are your best friends in the world. We explain what they are exactly on our bonus features section below, but needless to say, it’s a great feature.

Would we love to have had some free spin bonuses thrown in there? Of course. But if you had to only pick one feature to entertain, freezing the symbols on the reels and giving you free re-spins for as long as that symbol shows up on screen is… an acceptable choice. The addition of multipliers on the reels if you freeze whole reels is also brilliant, giving you hope for wins on every spin.

For the more experienced player

This slot machine is certainly for the more experienced gambler, who, in all honesty, can bet bigger and play through the dry spells. These will happen, where you might wonder why you are playing this game, but don’t forget that slot jackpot of getting all the symbols frozen across all the reels.

And if you are wondering how we know it’s there, it’s because we hit it once. Those yellow berries froze on our entire screen and it was a sweet, sweet moment. Will it happen ever again? Maybe. Maybe not. But it gave us enough of a rush that we’ll be back to try.

It’s a carnival of fun – grab a barrel and a lute and joke around with the Jester.

Taking only half the screen, this mobile slot machine feels small on tablet, and really only works well in landscape mode on smartphone.

But boy is it perfect for phones. The graphics are simple enough to be able to play it on 3G only, but with some great funny bonus games and a simple interface, it surprises us to find that we just kept playing this game.

We particularly liked the juggling eggs game, which has up to 500x multiplier potentially – although on both times we got this feature, we only got to 25x both times. They managed to make the pick a barrel game a little more fun, by throwing flying chickens, cows and other items to break the barrels.

We love the details, the graphics and sounds. One bookmarked for long car and train journeys.

In-game bonus features

Wild Symbol: The jester is wild and substitutes all symbols except juggling balls, baskets and barrels.

Jester Wild Feature: This feature will appear at random after any spin. The jester will jump around the reels making random symbols wild. You then get additional wins based on the new wilds. This can include getting Juggle and Barrel bonus features activated.

Juggle Bonus: If you get egg baskets on reels 1, 2 and 3 a bonus game pops up, where the Jester is juggling three eggs. You then progressively start adding eggs which increases the multipliers from 2, 3, 4, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500.

You can go past certain points (10 and 50) which are safety levels. Meaning if the juggler drops an egg at any of those points, you go back to the safety level and win that amount. Golden eggs will help you skip levels and get higher up the chain. At any point you can ‘collect now’.

Barrel Bonus: A simple pick and choose barrel bonus feature game is made a little more fun as each of the barrels are destroyed in curious and funny ways.

Grab yourself a cup of spiced mulled wine as you settle in for a night of jingle bells and magic with the Merry Xmas mobile slot.

We’ve always been very traditional when it comes to Christmas slots. We like games that have beautiful hand drawn symbols, each unique, each representing a small part of what we love most about the season to be jolly.

In fact, Play’n GO have made this game so very traditional, some of you might hate it. Or fall in love with slots all over again.

Stripping everything away

This Merry Xmas video slot is deceptively simple. You’ll notice quickly that you’ll win when there’s any three or more adjoining symbols anywhere on the 5 reels. So it’s not just left to right, or right to left, but in the centre as well. It makes things far more interesting as there’s only 15 paylines, it gives you far more ways of winning.

Then you’ll notice the occasional wild, which shows up as a simple multiplying symbol between x2 to x5.

You may even hit the hard to get click me bonus fairly quickly and make note of that bonus feature. But even then, the focus is all on the simple spinning of the reels and those symbols.

If this is all starting to sound eerily familiar, it’s because it’s the same mechanics as Play’n GO other vastly popular slot Lady of Fortune. Which we didn’t rate as high, mostly because we prefer this wintery theme. It just kept us playing for longer.

There’s no free spins, no expanded wilds, no real scatters. So it would be easy to dismiss this machine as too simple for a real video slot.

Merry Xmas slot has a few surprises

And what’s surprising is the wins you can get.

Mostly because many of the symbols come stacked on the reels, allowing for multiple larger wins. Add the occasional x5 multiplier, and we’ve hit 100x our bet and more on several occasions.

The flip-side of that is that you’ll have to budget carefully to even get a chance of hitting those numbers. The click me bonus can help, giving you the occasional 20x your bet to top you up, but really, Merry Xmas slot machine is all about those wild multipliers.

It’s incredibly simple, yes. But with such a beautiful festive theme and soft pleasant music, you’ll be playing well into the night, waiting for those sleight bells and big santa wins.

Set high on the mount of Olympus, the Zeus 1000 mobile slot is as colossal as it’s double reels suggest, yet… not quite as fun as it’s predecessor.

We should point out that we review mobile slots. That means, we review games made for mobile and tablets.

So we should point out, right now, that if you are a fan of the WMS Zeus slot series, you should 100% play the Zeus 1,000 online slot and add a star to this review.

Better for iPads and Tablets

The Zeus 1000 slot on mobile suffers from the same condition as it’s sister slot Spartacus Gladiator of Rome.

That is that with it’s two sets of colossal reels, where you are basically playing two slot games in one, what you have is an already pretty big 5×4 reels to the left, and an absolutely huge 5×12 set of reels on the right.

It makes for pretty exciting game play… on tablets. On mobile, the graphics are hard to see, and the action hard to follow.

This format does not transfer well to the small screen.

That said, it’s still very playable, and has the wins to back up it’s god-like status, but it’s like watching a pirate DVD footage of your favourite film.

Sure, you know in your head what it looks like, and it will do in a pinch if you are really bored and have no choice, but… ultimately… wouldn’t you prefer to wait and watch it in glorious HD?

Zeus 1000 slot is worth waiting for

If you have the patience to wait till your connected to your tablet / desktop, then good. Because Zeus 1,000 is as good as it’s predecessors and completely different at the same time.

Zeus I slot brought in the idea that during the free spins the highest paying symbol, Zeus, would come stacked. In the Zeus III slot game (2 came out as a social slot only) start playing around with the set up of the reels and gave you stacked wilds and stacked Zeus throughout the game.

How does Zeus 1000 top that up? More reels, more wilds, more Zeus symbols. Up to 1,000 extra Zeus symbols in the free spins in fact, leading to some potentially colossal wins.

A capricious god of thunder

We write more about the feature below, but needless to say, this Zeus 1000 slot machine is as well balanced as the two that came before.

It’s just never feels like it’s quite as easy to get the really big wins. Because of the 100 paylines, and colossal reels, you are waiting for all these stacked symbols to line up, and when they don’t, feel instantly deflated.

It’s a hard machine to love, unless you get very lucky, very quickly.

What it won’t do, is eat all your cash quickly. This god wants to keep you, tease you, work you, for as long as you are willing to pray to his capricious ways.

Because if you give him your time, you may suddenly find yourself with a screen, reel to reel, full of Zeus and Wild stacked symbols. Then you’ll be a converted Olympian.

Propel yourself to stratospheric heights as you soar up on high for out of this world wins in the Apollo Rising mobile slot.

This is one of those IGT slot machines that, in our opinion, looks far better on Android phones and iPhones, than it does online.

The reason for this is simple – as a 100 payline slot, the reels are 5 by 8 rows high; meaning you have to play in Landscape and the symbols spin upwards, rather than downwards.

So as soon as you load it, it feels unusual and unfamiliar, unless you’re looking at it from the palm of your hand.

Though, once you take a closer look you’ll see that, actually, the Apollo Rising slot isn’t so completely alien or complicated.

It’s actually ridiculously simple, with just one big bonus feature that keeps on giving.

You wait along for one slot with sticky wilds and free re-spins…

… and then two come along at once.

It seems incredibly coincidental that on the same day that the Apollo Rising slot game was released, Net Entertainment brought out their own version with Stickers Touch.

Though at first the two seem to have nothing in common, they share they fact that they one have one feature – as soon as the wild shows up on screen, it stays sticky and you get a free-respin of the rest of reels.

And whilst we won’t deny that Stickers stole our heart, our heads tell us that this Apollo Rising video slot is the one that hides the far larger and more satisfying wins.

Win 14,480 times your line bet in Apollo Rising

Which is pretty huge, and not as hard to catch as you might think, as it has expanded wilds in the form of rockets that cover either reel 2, 3 or 4 (see images below).

And we’ve caught it enough times to know the feature hits frequently, though not always as hard you might like. Which is where the bad news come into play; this is an expensive mobile slot to play, with the minimum bet starting at 1 in cash per spin.

But that’s probably ok, as Apollo Rising needs someone to play it who’s been around the gambling block a few times, and knows the best way to budget their cash. It’s not as dangerous as many other mobile IGT machines, but if you don’t get those three wilds, this space exploration will soon run out of funds.

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure to find a big slot surprise.

A cute little mobile slot, with syrupy wild honey and cute little teddy bears, this game certainly has a set audience in mind.

Teddy Bear’s Picnic has a theme that you’ll either love or hate. Filled with sweet cakes, bears and tea cups, it has all the sweetness of childhood rhymes. It might, in fact, be a little overly sweet for some, but perfectly built for others.

With a 95.35%. return to player rate, it has a decent payout and the sticky wilds are quite good fun. A pretty impressive video teddy bear will show up randomly and throw wilds on the screen, elevating the standard of game play.

But what really sets this game apart is the Free Spins round. You only get 8 at a time granted, but with a Teddy Bear throwing sticky wilds at the screen and random doughnuts spilling across the screen as you get progressively bigger wins, it gets more and more exciting, in a cute, joyful, childhood glee sort of way.

Unfortunately, with no jackpot win available, this sweet little treat just left us feeling a little sickly in the end.

Welcome to the incredibly dramatic Royal Masquerade mobile slot, an opulent venetian affair with a huge one million jackpot.

Oh yes, dramatic is the right word. From the singing soprano on a win, to the growing crescendo of modern rock opera, you need to play this Royal Masquerade slot with the music turned to loud.

And whilst casual observers will note that this is basically a copy of the equally fun Pimped slot, Royal Masquerade hides so much more beneath it’s velvet skirts.

A beautiful Windows, Android & iPhone / iPad slot

But could you expect anything else from a Play’n GO game that takes, for it’s inspiration, the crazy night of Mardie Gras, where the lords and ladies of Venice mask themselves for a night of debauchery?

The details in each of the characters and backgrounds are beautifully done, taking you from the streets of Venice, to the ancient gilded ballrooms of old from the base game to the free spins.

And yes, you’re not imagining it. As the five reels settle from a spin, so too does the heaving bouncing bosoms of the ladies.

Whaaaat…? It… euh… adds realism to the slot? Yes. That’s it. Realism.

The notorious Win Spins in the Royal Masquerade video slot

Three things you won’t fail to notice as you start playing:

The wilds often come stacked. Providing ample wins during the base game.

The free spins are now ‘win spins’: you are guaranteed a win on each round of the bonus games.

You can win up to 1 million in cash if you max bet.

That’s 10,000 times your bet, if you weren’t paying attention.

Which makes the Royal Masquerade slot machine a very dangerous, very volatile affair. Much like the real original Venetian Mardie Gras, if you get too intoxicated, you might never wake up to see another day.

Be careful, keep your wits about you, have fun

And isn’t that the mantra of any good party?

Because when the wins come during this Royal Masquerade, they are truly a celebration of indulgence. We’ve won over 100 times our bet, especially after a really successful round on the free spins, and easily 40 to 60 times our bet on a bad round.

Hell, even during the base game you can get that much. It’s those stacked wilds that make all the difference.

If all this sounds like too deadly, then start on a Play’n GO slot machine that’s a little easier, like the Tower Quest mobile slot.

We’ll be here. Enjoying all the twisted pleasures this night of revelry will bring.

We’ve seen this Illuminous mobile slot before, yet despite that, this Quickspin game is simple, beautiful and will light your wallet well into the night.

When we did the Jewel Blast review, by the same slots provider, we said that it was Starburst, but with wilds that exploded.

Following on in the tradition of being inspired by one of the most famous NetEnt video slots of all time, Quickspin created Illuminous, which is Starburst but with more free spins and more wilds.

And you can see some of the similarities straight away as you load this purple, green and blue neon Illuminous slot machine. Taking up your whole screen, it’s simple ace symbols and gems might not burst, but they look beautiful on Android and iOS.

Yet, as you might have come to expect from the Quickspin Gaming tradition, it’s different enough to warrant a closer look.

Free re-spins and wilds bonus symbols

Whenever you get two bonus wild symbols on the five reels, and it’s fairly often, every 30 spins or so, you’ll get one free re-spin of the reels, with two of the wild reels ‘hot’.

No, it’s not an expanded wild. It simply means that you are guaranteed to get at least one wild in that reel during the re-spin – usually 2, sometimes even 3.

Of course, that doesn’t guarantee a win, but certainly gives you the pitter patter of hope, and keeps your casino balance ticking along.

How much can I win in the Illuminous slot?

Up to 404 times your bet. So not much less than the beautiful Starburst Touch.

And Illuminous does have a secret weapon in it’s arsenal to make it stand out. Namely that if you get 3 wilds on the reels, you’ll trigger 5 free spins, with three reels ‘hot’ with wilds.

Get another wild on one of the other reels, and it remains ‘hot’ too, up to all five reels can become a stack of wilds across your mobile screen.

That said, the big wins are, perhaps, not as likely to happen as if you played on something like the Big Bad Wolf Slot which has larger multipliers, but this Illuminous mobile game is bright, colourful and stretches your budget well into the night.

Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? You won’t be. In fact, you’ll be on his side as you blow away the screen and try and get those damn wild pigs.

This Big Bad Wolf mobile slot is a frustrating game. We warn you, right now.

You load it up, and you see that it’s one of the prettiest machines you’ve seen for a while. It could even rival the beautiful Gonzo’s Quest slot.

The reason we mention the famous adventurer is that much like that game, Big Bad Wolf from Quickspin has cascading spins. Or, as they like to call it, ‘swooping reels’, because when you get a win, the symbols get ‘blown away’ and you then get more symbols tumbling down from above.

Mini free tumbles on not so many spins

It’s a feature we love in many of our favourite mobile slot games, and one that works… relatively well here.

The reason we say ‘relatively’ is because of the high return to player rate of 97.34%, The Big Bad Wolf slot actually does pay decent often enough that you won’t feel cheated.

But the whole point of these tumbling reels is that the more wins you get in succession, the more pigs on the reel turn wild, leading to bigger wins.

However, in the base game, you rarely get more than two or three consecutive wins in a row. In theory it could happen, but we found that it rarely did.

So there you are, watching for the wins to cascade into a flurry of wilds… but instead get maybe your bet back. There’s no multipliers like in Gonzo to make you hope for a truly big bad win.

Of anything, it reminded us more of IGT’s Pixies of The Forest because you have to wait for the free spins to get the wins.

Animated free spins in the Big Bad Wolf slot

Here the animations on these 25 paylines come alive. Get three wolves on the screen and the big, bad will show up to blow away your little house of straw and the pigs will run to the house of wood. Nothing special about these new reels, it’s just super cute.

That said, on bad WiFi reception it can slow down the game, so if you’re playing it as a Android phone slot or iPhone slot, be a little patient. The free spins will start, just need to get over the 10 second lag.

Ready to be blown away?

Now, it doesn’t say anywhere in the game if this is true, but having played the Big Bad Wolf video slot for several hours… the wins just come easier in the free spins. Or at least, that’s what it feels like.

It’s during the free games that we’ve managed to get all three little pigs to go wild, and get a succession of wins that just kept on coming. Only ever during the bonus games.

You start with 10 free spins, but with the chain reaction of cascades, we’ve easily played 30 to 40 free spins. Because the more little pigs turn wild, the easier it is to get wins, the more ‘free’ turns you get.

We are talking 30x to 80x our bet.

So no, the Big Bad Wolf slot game won’t make you incredibly rich. That’s what happens when you side with the bad guy. But you might just end up howling at the full moon after a good round of cascading wilds.

A cute, charming mobile fruity that is full of free spins and simple fun. However this little fruit cocktail still packs a bit of a punch.

Classic fruit slots are a dime a dozen. And there’s a reason why. No matter how long we play slots, video slots or 3D slots, fruit machines are where most of us started. Simple, classic and charming, the lemon, plums, oranges and cherry symbols are as familiar to us as bells and bars.

If you are looking for a NetEnt mobile slot with special features and popping graphics, then bad luck. This fruity slot machine is not it. If however, you are looking for a summer time treat with all the cheerful colour of an original slot machine, then welcome to the Fruit Shop mobile slot.

Fruit Shop slot has a high RTP and good wins

This mobile slot game is a simple 15 paylines video slot with little to no features, but don’t let that dissuade you, it’s still incredibly good fun, much like it’s sister slot Stickers.

Because what it does have is a high 96.7% return to player rate (RTP) and a frequent free spins hitting feature in which you get anything from 1 to 5 free spins.

Free spins that just keep on coming

1 – 5 doesn’t sound like very many you say? True enough, but you can’t seem to go more than 10 to 20 spins without hitting the free spin rounds, so fans certainly welcomed how quickly and how often you’ll get those little thrills of anticipation.

These come with a 2x multiplier as well, so are not without relevance to your wallet, and the top prizes for 5 symbols wins makes Fruit shop mobile slot higher up the variance scale than most other NetEnt games.

Best of all the betting range is wide enough to appeal to a huge selection of gamblers, from 0.15 to 150 in cash.

Fruit Shop slot machine, whether you play on mobile or online is simple, fun and classic. A ol’ round family favourite.

With colourful gemstones that cascade down from above, this bright Wizard of Gems mobile slot is perfect for when you need a quick win.

You know when you have some of those days where nothing seems to go right? Where you miss the bus by one minute, spill your coffee the moment your boss walks by, or come home and a lightbulb blows?

For those kind of days, you need to call on the Wizard of Gems slot.

It borrows it’s theme from one of Play’n GO’s most popular casino games, the uniquely different Gemix slot machine. That game is a completely different creature, and the only crossover is the wizard and the gems which you’ll find in both.

Cascading reels and up to 5x multipliers

As the pretty crystal gems fall on your screen and create winning paylines, they explode as if by magic. More symbols then cascade down from above and the multiplier increases by 1x. Get 4 wins in a row and you end up with a 5x multiplier.

It’s not a new concept, (see IGT’s Pixies of the Forest slot to name but one) but it fits in nicely in this Autumnal fantasy land of the Wizard of Gems game.

Especially, we found, when we loaded this up as an iPhone and Android phone slot and the big block colours made it easy to anticipate a win.

Ultimately, this is not a complicated machine. You spin, you try and hit that 5x multiplier with a series of wins. It’s not easy in the base game, to be honest, where we rarely got to 2x on most spin.

Thank-god then for the free spins, which come so often you rarely have an opportunity to miss them.

The Wizard of Gem slot free spins

Unlike in the Gonzo’s Quest slot, where the multiplier increases during the bonus game, Play’n GO have taken a chance and… not done that. Instead you get anything from 1 to 9 wild symbols appear on each and everyone of your 10 free spins.

It, more or less, guarantees a win on every spin. More importantly, you hit that 2x multiplier easier, which makes the 3x and 5x multiplier within easier reach.

Mostly, you’ll walk away with about 10x to 20x your total bet. Which may not sound like much, but the free spins come every 30 to 40 spins or so. And everyone in a while, when you least expect it, that 5x multiplier will blow you away with a surprise win out of nowhere.

Because whilst mostly this Wizard of Gems slot is here to simply put a smile on your face as you play on a balanced machine, somewhere in the back of your mind you know there’s a huge12,500 times your bet max win to be found on these sweet, playful, reels.

Dare you summon this enchantress for up to 50x multiplier on the wild symbols? She will cast her spell, but it will cost you.

This Spin Sorceress mobile slot is incredibly high variance. Higher even, than NextGen 300 Shields or even Medusa II.

It means you need to be careful with this lady, she might look all pretty, set against the deep snow of a fantasy land, but she might cost you dearly if you don’t respect her.

The good news is that you do have a great deal of control over what spell she casts upon you.

The superbet option is back!

For those who don’t follow the evolution of the NextGen slots as we do, you should know that on many of their slot games they add a ‘Superbet’ option, where if you are willing to pay more, you get more features.

In Foxin Wins it was wilds across more reels, in Merlin’s Magic Respins you got extra stacked wilds with free re-spins etc…

In the Spin Sorceress slot game you get bigger multipliers on the wilds. There are 5 levels, with level 1 you get multipliers from 2x, 3x or 5x, whilst at level 5 you get incredible multiplier of up to x20, x30, or x50.

But it will cost you. If you play with no superbet, at 0.25 a spin, it’s almost not worth playing – you’re better off trying your luck on Super Safari if you want high risk but low bets.

With Spin Sorceress you need to at least be willing to bet 2 a spin, so you can afford multiplier over 15x.

The higher the superbet the better return to player rate

Basically, that’s just a fancy way of saying that the higher the superbet, the more this game pays. Which is true, as you get bigger multipliers, but also because you tend to get more wilds.

And if you are wondering how often the wilds show; often enough. Especially during the free spin games where you are guaranteed at least one wild on each spin, usually 2 or 3 wilds.

Which may not sound like a lot, but it doesn’t feel that way when you get a multiplier of 30 times over 243 ways to win.

The Spin Sorceress slot is not for the faint of heart, but if you can afford the spins, she’ll take you on one hell of wild magic ride.
